I think it's very on-brand for Reddit to announce that they are removing a feature without having a replacement ready for primetime.
Why on Earth would you announce this now when you're not ready for whatever is coming next? It's like they are purposely trying to kill Reddit.
I'm only half joking that I'm expecting Mark Zuckerberg to announce a new app called "Links" next week that looks suspiciously like Reddit, because this pattern is starting to feel familiar.
I think if anything they’re just seeing how little the bad press actually affected their bottom line and are deciding they might as well get through more bad press now so that it all muddles together.
And he'll claim it'll be part of the Fediverse at some point probably, until the regulators get off his back and he can start stealing eyeballs again (which is an unusual hobby but the super-rich are strange creatures).
